The south house is directly opposite the upper room, which is the wing room on the south side of the main courtyard, which has always been used as a tea room, a small kitchen, and the residence of the maiden's wife, the house is low and narrow, dimly lit, and much more humid than ordinary rooms. The conditions here are far worse than the upper room.

Xie Mulin was driven to the south house by the officers and soldiers along with the others, and the first word that came to his mind was squeeze.

There are five rooms in the main house of the upper room, except for the small storehouse at the east end, which is built with a partition wall, the remaining four rooms are basically opened, but they are separated by multi-treasure grids, round light masks, curtains and the like, and the overall is quite spacious.

The south house was divided into four rooms on the left and right by the courtyard gate, and the tea room and small kitchen were inconvenient, so everyone was divided into men and women, and was driven into the two bedrooms of the maiden mother-in-law.

The man is okay, that is, the three brothers of the Xie family, because the youngest Xie Hanzhi is more seriously ill, and the brothers Xie Xianzhi and Xie Huizhi are still young men, the officers and soldiers may have been kind and assigned them the eldest mother-in-law.

But on the side of the female dependents, the Cao family took two concubines, as well as four sisters of the Xie family, plus a Qian mother and a Gui Zhen, and the nine people were all crammed into one room. There are four beds in the room, and the rest of the place that can accommodate people to stand is four or five square meters, and they can sit separately and squeeze in. But if they were going to spend the night in this house, it would be a beautiful scene.

Xie Mulin also had to be glad that the girls and mothers-in-law who Cao had left to wait by his side were not imprisoned together, otherwise the room would be crowded and unable to get off.

The officials of Dali Temple are about more reliable than Fang Wenshan, and when they found that there were still so many people waiting for the family members of the criminal officials, they immediately set things right. It was Fang Wenshan who couldn't bear to see his sweetheart suffer, argued with him for a few words, and talked about the dignity of the queen's mother's family, so that he fought for the Cao family to keep Qian Mother and Gui Zhen, and the other maids and daughters-in-law were all escorted to the places where other servants were imprisoned.

Fang Wenshan's preferential treatment of the Cao family was probably too obvious, and the official of Dali Temple sighed meaningfully in front of everyone: "This official has long heard that Vice General Fang has an old relationship with Pingnan Bofu, but I didn't expect you to miss the old relationship." ”

Fang Wenshan didn't know if there was a ghost in his heart, so he didn't say anything, so he turned around and led people to continue to search the house. Cao kept his head down, pretending to be weak, asked Qian's mother to sit down on the edge of the best bed, and called her daughter over to let her lie on the bed and rest.

Xie Mulin felt that Xie Yinghui was actually just a little cold, and her face was not as pale as Xie Yingfen. Miss Xie Si is no longer in the spirit of yesterday, and she is full of energy, sitting in the corner of the bed next to her biological mother Wanqin, more like a patient than Xie Yinghui.

Xie Yinghui sobbed quietly in her mother's arms, complaining that the people in Dali Temple were too rude, saying that when she went out, she would sue them in front of the queen's aunt.

Cao gently patted his daughter's back, why didn't he worry about his son? She didn't worry about her son's health, but she was afraid that when her son met with the officials of Dali Temple for a while, he would talk nonsense. If the people of Dali Temple believe his words, and really investigate Xie Pu's case in the direction that someone wants to attack the prince of the East Palace, will they find out the third master of Pingnan Bocao? At that time, the Cao family's face was really ugly!

Aunt Dajin hugged her daughter tightly and wanted to hide in the corner. She knew that the Cao family and the others were not waiting to see Xie Yingrong, so it would be better to hide away and suffer less. When officials questioned Xie Pu's family, it was estimated that they would not ask about the concubines and concubines. That Fang Vice Admiral's identity is suspicious, but he clearly looks at the Cao family differently, if it is really the person she thinks, the Cao family will be safe and sound, and it will be their mother and daughter who are unlucky at that time!

Xie Yingrong broke free from the arms of her biological mother. She ran to the window to watch the officers and soldiers search the upper room, and she was secretly anxious.

She had already tested Xie Yingzhen just now, Xie Yingzhen didn't seem to know the appearance of the letter, and actually believed that Pingnanbo Mansion would come to save the Xie family! Even if she repeatedly talked about the Cao family's usual arrogance and rudeness, implying that the Cao family would turn their faces and be ruthless, Xie Yingzhen was unwavering.

But anyone who read the letter, or heard her conversation with Aunt Dajin, could not have no doubts about the Cao family. Could it be ...... Xie Yingzhen didn't lie, she really didn't hear anything, and she didn't hide the letter, she just happened to wake up when Qian's mother was noisy?!

If so, where did the faith go?

Will...... Mother Qian had actually found the letter, but because the letter was unfavorable to Xie Pu, she didn't make a noise, pretending not to find anything, but quietly transferred the letter and hid it in the upper room at the moment. As long as the officers and soldiers search the upper room, they can find out the letter, and then Xie Pu will not be able to wash it even if he jumps into the Yellow River!

Otherwise, there was no such thing as searching for a house in the previous life, how could there be any changes in this life?

Xie Yingrong felt remorse in his heart. Knowing this, she should have hidden the letter in a secret place as soon as possible, so as not to let Qian's mother find out, and then wait until the officers and soldiers were about to drive them out of the room, and then get the letter back for personal collection. With the Cao clan in the way, the officers and soldiers will not search for the woman's body. And she had already asked Gui Zhen to search her body, and she was no longer suspicious, and she was more secure than before! It's better than now, I can only watch the officers and soldiers copy and inspect the room, waiting for the fatal letter, and I don't know when it will be discovered.

Xie Yingrong stared at the situation outside the window, and in the eyes of Cao's family, Qian's mother, and Gui Zhen, he had different conjectures.

They suspected that Xie Yingrong had hidden the letter a long time ago, so they couldn't find it. But at this moment, they were all kicked out of the upper room, and the officers and soldiers searched carefully inside and outside the upper room, and they didn't know when they would find out the things, so Xie Yingrong looked so remorseful and anxious.

Thinking of this, the master and servant of the Cao family were secretly relieved. No matter where Xie Yingrong hid the letter, as long as the officers and soldiers could search for it, their plan would be able to proceed smoothly. As for whether the letter was found in the upper room, not the study, whether it would have an impact on Cao himself, she didn't care. The reason can always come up with, the Cao family will never leave her alone, and she still has Fang Wenshan.

Everyone in the room had their own thoughts, Xie Mulin sat quietly and observed everyone for a while, and saw that Wanqin left her daughter and walked to the door, and she didn't know what to do, so she walked to Xie Yingfen's bed and touched the little girl's forehead.

Ah, it's pretty hot. I haven't seen you all night, did Xie Yingfen also have a fever?

Xie Yingfen opened her eyes and looked at her, full of grievances: "Second sister, I'm so uncomfortable......"

Xie Mulin touched her little face, looked around the house, and found that there seemed to be some water in the wooden basin on the basin shelf in the corner of the house. Although I don't know if it's clean or not, no matter how dirty it is, it's just a wash water that has been put on for two days. She walked over, found a handkerchief that looked fairly clean, moistened it with water, took it back and put it on Xie Yingfen's forehead, and pulled the corner of the quilt to cover her: "Let's find a way to cool down first." ”

Xie Yingfen nodded, hugged Xie Mulin's hand, and closed her eyes.

By the door, Wanqin seemed to have just begged a bowl of hot water for her sick daughter from the officers and soldiers guarding the door, but when she turned around, she walked to Cao's first.

Mother Qian blocked her way: "What's the matter with my aunt?" ”

Wanqin lowered her voice: "Someone spread the word that a secret compartment was found in the study, and there was an account book in it, which was recorded...... It is the amount of silver that the wife takes back to the Cao family every year, which is very detailed. ”

Mother Qian was a little excited at first, but after listening to it, she was already lacking interest: "I thought it was something important." Well, this little thing doesn't have to disturb the wife. Auntie go back to take care of the four girls, don't come here if you have nothing to do, so as not to get sick. ”

Wanqin was stunned, and her face changed slightly.
